Visitors from Fifth Day

Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

Organise the logistics of putting on special events to raise funds and raise the profile of FarmEco

What will you be doing?

We want to attract more paying visitors to the farm through special events through the year. These might include:

  • Open Farm Sunday
  • AGM with celebration
  • Concerts in the labyrinth
  • Apple days
  • Family events in the holidays e.g. meeting lambs in the Easter holidays

Currently we are a small team of volunteers who are busy with running workshops and volunteer days. It would help us to have someone to focus on putting together events and planning the logistics of these. This would involve planning, marketing & publicity, organising ticket sales, organising logistics for the day. The current volunteers will be happy to support and assist the event organiser in preparation and in running the actual events.

What are we looking for?

A passion and experience for laying on well organised events which will be fun for all involved.

Imagination and vision to create memorable days out.

Good budgeting skills to ensure that these events bring in income for the farm to justify the amount of effort involved.

What difference will you make?

Increase the number of people visiting the farm. This helps our mission of connecting more people with farming & nature.

Improve the financial sustainability of the organisation through increasing income streams. This will help us to develop the organisation to do what we do even better.
